DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

Before a method and a device for adjusting a wireless modem provided in the present disclosure are introduced, an application scenario involved in various embodiments of the present disclosure can be introduced at first. The application scenario is a wireless modem in any wireless communication terminal, configured for data transmission on a wireless channel. The wireless modem can include portions such as a processor, a memory, a digital baseband processing portion, a filter, an equalizer, a modulation portion, a demodulation portion, a coder and a decoder.

The wireless channel changes in real time, and the statistical data and the known channel state may have hysteresis. As such, it may be impossible to control a working voltage and a clock frequency of the wireless modem to be adjusted to an optimal state. Moreover, the empirical formula is relatively low in reliability, and the adjusting accuracy of working voltage and clock frequency may further be reduced.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a method and a device for adjusting a wireless modem, to solve at least the problem of hysteresis and inaccuracy of an adjustment of a working voltage and a clock frequency in some typical systems.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a method for adjusting a wireless modem, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method can include the following operations.

In operation 101, a channel parameter of the wireless modem at a present moment is acquired.

For example, in a wireless communication process, the wireless modem performs data transmission in a transmission environment (i.e., a wireless channel) at the present moment. The wireless modem can acquire the channel parameter capable of reflecting channel quality at the present moment in real time. For example, strength of a desired signal, strength of an interference signal (which may include noise and interference), and strength of a reference signal (pilot signal) and the like may be measured according to various signals (for example, a pilot signal and an answer signal) received by the wireless modem, thereby obtaining the channel parameter. Here, the channel parameter can include, but not limited to, for example, at least one of a channel bandwidth, signal strength, an SNR, RSRP, an uplink/downlink resource scheduling strategy, a modulation mode, a coding mode or a transport block size.

In operation 102, a target clock frequency and a target working voltage of the wireless modem are generated, according to the channel parameter, with a neural network which is pre-trained.

In operation 103, a working voltage and a clock frequency of the wireless modem are adjusted to the target working voltage and the target clock frequency respectively.

Exemplarily, after the channel parameter is acquired, the target clock frequency and target working voltage, adapted to the channel at the present moment, of the wireless modem can be determined according to the channel parameter and the neural network which is pre-trained. The target clock frequency and the target working voltage are an optimal clock frequency and an optimal working voltage of the wireless modem on the premise that a preset performance condition (for example, a bit error rate is less than a threshold value of a bit error rate, or a packet loss rate is less than a threshold value of a packet loss rate, or a transmission success rate is greater than a threshold value of a transmission success rate) is met, and the target clock frequency and the target working voltage can also be understood as a minimum clock frequency and a minimum working voltage.

The neural network may be a neural network which is trained according to a preset sample input set, and can determine target clock frequencies and target working voltages corresponding to different channel parameters according to different channel parameters.

The sample input set can be acquired in a manner of simulating various combinations of the channel parameters by simulation software and recording the target clock frequencies and target working voltages, corresponding to the different channel parameters, of the wireless modem on the premise that the preset performance condition is met. The neural network is trained by using various channel parameters as the sample input set (i.e., input of the neural network) and by using the target clock frequencies and the target working voltages corresponding to the different channel parameters as a sample output set (i.e., output of the neural network). Exemplarily, the neural network may be, for example, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). It is to be noted that the CNN is only an example of the neural network in the embodiment of the present disclosure and the present disclosure is not limited thereto but may involve other neural networks.

After the target clock frequency and the target working voltage are acquired, the clock frequency of the wireless modem is adjusted to the target clock frequency, and the working voltage of the wireless modem is adjusted to the target working voltage. The target clock frequency and the target working voltage which are determined by the neural network, are the optimal clock frequency and optimal working voltage that the wireless modem may reach on the premise that the preset performance condition is met during data transmission on a channel indicated by the channel parameters at the present moment.

That is, the target clock frequency and the target working voltage which are determined by the neural network are the minimum clock frequency and the minimum working voltage that are determined in real time according to the channel parameter and that the wireless modem may reach, so that the adjusting accuracy of clock frequency and working voltage can be improved, and power consumption of the wireless modem can be reduced. The preset performance condition can include, but not limited to, for example, that the bit error rate is less than a threshold value of the bit error rate, or the packet loss rate is less than a threshold value of the packet loss rate, or the transmission success rate is greater than a threshold value of the transmission success rate, etc.

It is to be noted that the working voltage and clock frequency of the wireless modem in operation 103 can be understood as a total working voltage and a total clock frequency of the wireless modem. For example, the total working voltage may be a power supply voltage of the wireless modem, and the total clock frequency may be equal to a clock frequency of a processor of the wireless modem.

From the above, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the channel parameter of the wireless modem at the present moment is acquired at first; then the target clock frequency and the target working voltage of the wireless modem are generated, according to the channel parameter, with the neural network which is pre-trained; and finally the working voltage and clock frequency of the wireless modem are adjusted to the target working voltage and the target clock frequency respectively. The clock frequency and the working voltage of the wireless modem can be adjusted in real time according to a state of the wireless channel, so that the adjusting accuracy is improved, and the power consumption is reduced.

Furthermore, during a practical application, the wireless modem usually includes multiple function portions and, for example, can include function portions such as the processor, a memory, digital baseband processing portion, a filter, an equalizer, modulation portion, demodulation portion, a coder and a decoder. Each function portion can be a group of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and also correspondingly has a corresponding clock frequency and a corresponding working voltage. In an existing DVFS mechanism, only the clock frequencies and working voltages of the processor and memory of the wireless modem can be adjusted and the clock frequencies and working voltages of the other function portions cannot be adjusted, which increases the power consumption of the wireless modem. Therefore, for each function portion of the wireless modem, the clock frequency and the working voltage of each function portion can also be adjusted respectively according to the method for adjusting the wireless modem disclosed in the present disclosure.

For example, in operation 102, the channel parameter can be used as input of the neural network to acquire at least one target clock frequency and at least one target working voltage which are outputted by the neural network and are corresponding to at least one of the multiple function portions.

When the wireless modem includes the multiple function portions, the corresponding sample input set for training the neural network can include various parameters, and the sample output set can include the at least one target clock frequency and at least one target working voltage, corresponding to various channel parameters, of the at least one function portion on the premise that the preset performance condition is met. The at least one function portion can include all function portions of the wireless modem and can also include part of function portions or a certain portion of the wireless modem.

Correspondingly, if the neural network can output the target clock frequency and the target working voltage which are corresponding to the at least one function portion, an implementation mode of operation 103 can be as follows.

A clock frequency of each of the at least one function portion is adjusted to the target clock frequency which is outputted by the neural network and is corresponding to the function portion, and a working voltage of each of the at least one function portion is adjusted to the target working voltage which is outputted by the neural network and is corresponding to the function portion.

When the wireless modem includes the multiple function portions, the neural network can determine respectively each target clock frequency and each target working voltage, corresponding to different channel parameters, of each function portion according to different channel parameters. Therefore, adjusting the clock frequency of each of various function portions to the target clock frequency corresponding to the function portion and adjusting the working voltage of the function portion to the target working voltage corresponding to the function portion can be implemented in real time according to different channel parameters, to further improve the adjusting accuracy of the clock frequency and working voltage and further reduce the power consumption of the wireless modem.

It is to be noted that the neural network in the embodiment can include an input layer, a convolutional layer, a feedback layer, a fully connected layer and an output layer. The channel parameter is input as a characteristic vector sequence into the input layer at first; a convolutional-layer characteristic is extracted from the characteristic vector sequence via the convolutional layer; a present feedback-layer characteristic is extracted from the convolutional layer via the feedback layer in combination with a previous feedback-layer characteristic and a next feedback-layer characteristic; the feedback-layer characteristic is abstractly process via the fully connected layer to generate the target working voltage and the target clock frequency; and finally the target working voltage and the target clock frequency are outputted via the output layer.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing operations for training neural network, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the neural network is pre-trained through the following operations.

In operation 104, a sample input set and an associated sample output set are acquired, each sample input of the sample input set including a group of channel parameters which are preset for the wireless modem, each sample output of the associated sample output set including a sample working voltage and a sample clock frequency of the wireless modem which operates under a corresponding group of channel parameters, and the sample working voltage and the sample clock frequency being a target working voltage and a target clock frequency of the wireless modem when a preset performance condition is met.

In operation 105, the neural network is trained by using the group of channel parameters included in each sample input as the input of the neural network and by using the sample working voltage and the sample clock frequency included in the sample output associated with each sample input as output of the neural network.

For example, for obtaining the neural network capable of determining the target clock frequencies and target working voltages corresponding to different channel parameters according to different channel parameters, the sample input set (which can be understood as a sample dataset for constructing the neural network) and the associated sample output set can be acquired in advance.

The sample input set includes an input parameter of the neural network, and the sample output set includes an output parameter of the neural network. A purpose of the neural network which is generated by using the sample input set is that the output of the neural network can be matched with the sample output set when the input of the neural network is the sample input set.

Each sample input of the sample input set may be a group of channel parameters which are preset for the wireless modem, namely the sample input set can include multiple groups of channel parameters. Each group of channel parameters can include multiple channel parameters. For example, a group of channel parameters can include the channel bandwidth, the signal strength, the SNR scheduling strategy and the like, namely the channel bandwidth, the signal strength, the SNR scheduling strategy form a vector I.

Each sample output of the associated sample output set can include a combination of the sample working voltage v and the sample clock frequency f of the wireless modem which operates under a corresponding group of channel parameters, and the sample working voltage and the sample clock frequency are the target working voltage and the target clock frequency of the wireless modem when the preset performance condition is met, i.e., an optimal working voltage and an optimal clock frequency of the wireless modem when the preset performance condition is met. The operation that the neural network is generated according to the multiple groups of channel parameters I and the multiple groups of sample working voltages v and the sample clock frequencies f can be understood as that a function F is determined to ensure F(I)=(f, v).

Exemplarily, the wireless modem including, for example, the multiple function portions, a selection rule for the sample output set can include that: at first, under the condition that a group of channel parameters is given, both the clock frequency and the working voltage of each function portion of the wireless modem are set to be maximum values, and in such case, a performance index (which may be, for example, the bit error rate, the packet loss rate and the transmission success rate) of the wireless modem is optimal; and then, for a certain function portion, the clock frequency and the working voltage of the function portion are gradually reduced according to a preset step length until the performance index of the wireless modem (or a performance index of the function portion) does not meet the preset performance condition, and in such case, the clock frequency and the working voltage are the sample clock frequency and the sample working voltage corresponding to the function portion, i.e., the sample clock frequency and the sample working voltage of the function portion under the condition of the group of channel parameters.

The same operations are executed for each function portion of the wireless modem to obtain the corresponding sample clock frequencies and the corresponding sample working voltages, corresponding to the group of channel parameters, of all the function portions.

It is to be noted that training of the neural network (i.e., operation 104 to operation 105) can be executed before adjusting the wireless modem and can also be executed after adjusting the wireless modem or executed in a adjusting process of the wireless modem, namely the neural network can be pre-trained and can also be regulated in a data transmission process of the wireless modem. An execution sequence is not limited in the present disclosure.

FIG. 3 is another flowchart showing operations for training neural network, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, operation 105 can be implemented through the following operations.

In operation 1051, a first channel parameter is used as input of an initial neural network to acquire output of the initial neural network, the first channel parameter being any group of channel parameters of the multiple groups of channel parameters.

In operation 1052, the output of the initial neural network is compared with a first sample output to correct a parameter of at least one neuron of the initial neural network, the first sample output being a sample working voltage and a sample clock frequency of the wireless modem which operates under the first channel parameter.

For example, for generating the neural network, the initial neural network can be preselected at first (for example, a class, depth and the like of the neural network can be selected according to a requirement); the first channel parameter is used as the input of the initial neural network to acquire the output of the initial neural network; the output of the initial neural network is compared with the first sample output; and the parameter of the at least one neuron of the initial neural network is corrected according to a difference value between the output of the initial neural network and the output of the first sample output.

The first channel parameter is any group of channel parameters of the multiple groups of channel parameters, the first sample output is the sample working voltage and the sample clock frequency of the wireless modem which operates under the first channel parameter, and the parameter of the neuron may be, for example, a weight and bias of the neuron.

In operation 1053, operation 1051 to operation 1052 are repeatedly executed until the initial neural network meets a preset condition.

In operation 1054, the initial neural network meeting the preset condition is used as the neural network.

Exemplarily, operation 1051 to operation 1052 are repeatedly executed to ensure that, when the input of the initial neural network is a certain channel parameter, the output of the initial neural network can be matched with a sample output corresponding to the channel parameter, and when the initial neural network meets the preset condition, the initial neural network is used as the neural network.

The preset condition may be that, when the input of the initial neural network is any of channel parameter of the sample input set, the output of the initial neural network may be consistent with the sample output corresponding to the channel parameter of the sample output set, or a difference value between the output of the initial neural network and the sample output corresponding to the channel parameter of the sample output set may be less than a preset threshold value.

FIG. 4 is another flowchart showing operations for training neural network, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, an implementation mode of operation 104 can include the following operations.

In operation 1041, a wireless channel corresponding to each group of channel parameters of multiple groups of channel parameters, and downlink data to be transmitted via the wireless channel are simulated by a preset simulation software.

In operation 1042, a situation in which the wireless modem receives the downlink data via the wireless channel is simulated by the simulation software, and the target working voltage and the target clock frequency of the wireless modem when the situation meets the preset performance condition are determined.

In operation 1043, each group of input channel parameters is used as a sample input, and the target working voltage and the target clock frequency of the wireless modem which are outputted by the simulation software when the preset performance condition is met are used as a sample output corresponding to each sample input.

For example, the sample input set and the associated sample output set can be acquired in a manner of simulating the multiple groups of channel parameters by the simulation software and then simulating the downlink data to be transmitted under the condition of the multiple groups of channel parameters, to acquire the multiple groups of sample outputs corresponding to the multiple groups of channel parameters (i.e., the sample clock frequencies and sample working voltages corresponding to the multiple groups of channel parameters) on the premise that the wireless modem meets the preset performance condition (for example, the bit error rate is less than a threshold value of the bit error rate).

The wireless modem can also perform data transmission on a practical wireless channel, and the multiple groups of channel parameters for working of the wireless modem and the multiple groups of corresponding sample outputs are acquired by using an external device or instrument according to a preset acquisition frequency within a period of time.

FIG. 5 is another flowchart showing operations for training neural network, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, after operation 105, the neural network is further corrected through the following operation.

In operation 106, the neural network is corrected according to the target clock frequencies and the target working voltages generated by the neural network for many times within a preset historical time period before the present moment and/or multiple load values of the wireless modem within the preset historical time period.

For example, after the neural network is generated in operation 105, the neural network can further be corrected according to statistical data in a working process of the wireless modem. The statistical data can include, for example, the multiple target clock frequencies and the multiple target working voltages generated by the neural network for many times and recorded according to a preset frequency within the historical time period before the present moment, and can further include the multiple load values of the wireless modem, which are recorded according to the preset frequency within the historical time period. The load value may be a total load value of the wireless modem and may also be a load value of each function portion of the wireless modem. For example, when the channel parameter at the present moment is used as the input of the neural network, differences between the output of the neural network, and the multiple target clock frequencies and multiple target working voltages which are generated by the neural network and are recorded according to the preset frequency within the historical time period are calculated as reverse weights to correct the neural network, to improve a matching degree between the neural network and the wireless channel, further to improve adjusting accuracy of the clock frequency and working voltage and further to reduce the power consumption of the wireless modem.

From the above, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the channel parameter of the wireless modem at the present moment is acquired at first, then the target clock frequency and the target working voltage of the wireless modem are generated, according to the channel parameter, with the neural network which is pre-trained, and finally the working voltage and clock frequency of the wireless modem are adjusted to the target working voltage and the target clock frequency respectively. The clock frequency and working voltage of the wireless modem can be adjusted in real time according to a state of the wireless channel, so that the adjusting accuracy is improved, and the power consumption is reduced.

Alternatively, or in addition, the program instructions can be encoded on an artificially-generated propagated signal, e.g., a machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signal, which is generated to encode information for transmission to suitable receiver apparatus for execution by a data processing apparatus. A computer storage medium can be, or be included in, a computer-readable storage device, a computer-readable storage substrate, a random or serial access memory array or device, or a combination of one or more of them.

Moreover, while a computer storage medium is not a propagated signal, a computer storage medium can be a source or destination of computer program instructions encoded in an artificially-generated propagated signal. The computer storage medium can also be, or be included in, one or more separate components or media (e.g., multiple CDs, disks, drives, or other storage devices). Accordingly, the computer storage medium can be tangible.

The operations described in this disclosure can be implemented as operations performed by a data processing apparatus on data stored on one or more computer-readable storage devices or received from other sources.

A computer program (also known as a program, software, software application, app, script, or code) can be written in any form of programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, declarative or procedural languages, and it can be deployed in any form, including as a stand-alone program or as a portion, component, subroutine, object, or other portion suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program can, but need not, correspond to a file in a file system. A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more portions, sub-programs, or portions of code). A computer program can be deployed to be executed on one computer or on multiple computers that are located at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network.
